How the Pentagon is Quietly Building Trump’s Concentration Camps SCOOP: A repurposed Navy contract is funneling tens of billions into a "ghost network" of detention camps that can materialize anywhere in America overnight.

SCOOP: A repurposed Navy contract to funnel tens of billions to ICE for a nationwide "ghost network” of concentration camps—just got a lot bigger.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

President Trump has set his sights on Cuba and is escalating economic and political pressure on the island. We must show our full solidarity with the Cuban people — against the blockade, the oil embargo, and Trump’s imperialist offensive.

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered that 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father be freed from ICE detention.

Families don't belong in detention.

the protests are feeling more spontaneous and organic and abundant which, to me, seems like a strong sign of sea change

I wrote a dispatch from being in Minneapolis yesterday, where the movement against ICE and to defend immigrants touches every inch of the city.

Thank you!

Dispatches from Minneapolis: The Movement Against ICE Has Touched Every Inch of the City Behind the powerful mass marches in Minneapolis is a community of tens of thousands of Minnesotans who are determined to defend their immigrant neighbors. The solidarity is creative, profound, and can be found in small and large expressions everywhere.

"The sea of people was endless."

"Entire families, baby boomers, activists draped in keffiyehs or waving Mexican flags, [..] and people from all walks of life filled the air with chants of 'ICE OUT.'"

"[A]n endless river of collective power."

LA TODAY 🖤🫡

FUCK ICE ❤️‍🔥

Thanks for the context and all your reporting!

Self-crit time: last night I reported on this rally in Chicago, and like I was worried would happen, big liberal accounts have spread its aesthetics but ignored its context. But that's my fault as well

I should have made a few things clearer from the start:

What I experienced in Minneapolis yesterday can’t properly be conveyed in words, but here’s my best attempt.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

MINNEAPOLIS: Protesters are flooding Government Plaza to demand "ICE OUT NOW!" This is a city showing that it won't stop fighting to end the attacks on their immigrant neighbors.

Protesters are now entering Target chanting, "Hey Target, you can't hide! We can see your icey side!"

HAPPENING NOW: Activists are picketing outside Target, which has become a target of the movement due to the company's large donations to Trump. The company has also kept silent against ICE even after the agency arrested 2 teenage employees.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

We are many, they are few

Two ICE vehicles showed up and the crowd let them know they want them out.

"ICE OUT NOW!"

I'm in Minneapolis this weekend reporting for @leftvoice.bsky.social. Just arrived at the Whipple Federal Building where the community is kicking off the day of protests. Watch this space for updates.

ICE Out of Minneapolis: A Battle the Whole Labor Movement Must Take Up! Minneapolis is rising up against ICE as workers, immigrants, and communities refuse to accept raids and repression. While some politicians posture and others attack the movement outright, and the courts keep the deportation machine running, only organized labor and collective action can turn mass protest into real power and drive ICE out of the city.

"We cannot trust the Democrats, and we cannot trust the courts."

"Union leaders must now take up the fight."

"Support that does not mobilize workers' power [..] is a way of leaving immigrant communities to face repression alone."

While Minnesotans Rejoice Over Greg Bovino’s Ouster, His Replacement is a Deportation Hardliner The most notable difference between Tom Homan and Greg Bovino is that Homan has deported a lot more people — and done it at a national scale.

Tomorrow I'll be flying to Minneapolis to cover the incredible resistance developing there for @leftvoice.bsky.social! I hope folks here will consider donating to help cover the costs.

Even if you can't donate, following, liking, and sharing is always immensely helpful. Stay tuned!

Abolish Border Patrol. If you can imagine a world without the DHS, you can imagine a world without USBP. I don’t care if it’s over a century old and everyone who saw it come to be (out of Klansmen and Texas Rangers) is long gone. Abolish it.

A person was shot in an incident involving U.S. Border Patrol in Arizona near the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday morning, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.

An incredible exercise in not saying who shot who.
